Re: But not?

In Response To: Re: But not? (Avateur) : I'm using IE8, and Fyrewulff is using Firefox and getting a Trojan warning. : And it appears we each use three different anti-virus programs. I don't : know what's up. :P From an email I sent FyreWulff: It's pretty funny, because it's NOT a javascript - it's a bunch of escaped ascii characters. (The original script included both unescape() and eval() functions - what's posted now has neither.) Any browser for which bare unescaped characters are a risk - in other words, any browser that would, unasked, unescape a set of escaped characters (AND THEN EVALUATE THE RESULTANT STRING) is a browser that is fundamentally broken, and should NEVER be used to surf the web. Any anti-virus software that assumes this is a possibility is being overly protective. Both of you are getting warnings from your anti-virus software - and I'd argue that both sets (AVG and Avast) are being overly protective. Overly protective is better than not protective enough, but the bottom line is, what's in that post now is harmless. Utterly so.
